Look down below to find a Nice France map to aid you in your travels

Nice is a city in the southeastern part of France, in the Provence region and in the vicinity of Italy and Monaco. It is the fifth largest city in France with a city population of 348,721 and a metropolitan population of around 955,000. It is thought to be one of the oldest places of human inhabitance in Europe.

The climate of Nice is, as you may expect, a typical Mediterranean climate with a long, warm, and dry summer that lasts as long as six months. The winters are wet and mild, certainly not beach weather most of the time, but pleasant and comfortable.

One of the most famous attractions in Nice is the Promenade des Anglais. The promenade was built by beggars who migrated to Nice to avoid a harsh winter up north. The English vacationers in Nice employed these beggars to build the promenade along the waterfront.
